Some routes on the face of Keelers require 5.10/A2 skills. The chute is made exciting by rockfall on the route. The WhitneyZone does not accept posthumous trip reports.
Here is a
rescue report. (page 5).
"
He stayed on the ledge all afternoon and night in only his shorts and tee shirt. He also stated that he had dodged many falling rocks during that time."
"
The Whitney Keeler couloir is a very dangerous chute. Several people have been killed from rock fall in the chute and at the bottom of the chute. Had CLMRO members been required to extricate the victim from the chute they would have had to put their own lives in extreme danger. Usually we assist people in much less objectively dangerous situations. "
